Rep. Mike Doyle (D-Pa.) and Rep. David Price (D-N.C.) both announced on Monday that they are retiring at the end of their terms, less than a week after Rep. John Yarmuth (D-Ky.) revealed he also isn't seeking re-election.
Democrats have a slim majority in the House, and their retirements coincide with redistricting. Doyle said that's why he thinks now is a "good transition time. This could be a brand new district. New people, new counties, maybe, and a good starting point for a new member of Congress to get acclimated in the district and go from there."
